Common and Grouping Factoring
Greatest common factors and factoring by grouping.
Overview Common and Grouping Factoring — Grade 10 Unit Overview
This Grade 10 unit teaches a learner to factor polynomials by first pulling out the greatest common factor and then, when needed, reorganizing terms into groups that reveal a common binomial factor. It connects factoring to earlier work on polynomial structure and multiplication, so the learner can see factoring as reversing expansion rather than memorizing disconnected tricks.
